The accepted answer in this question solved my problem.

vs2012 error: package 'visual c++ package' failed to load

I opened Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 and write devenv /Setup (while VS is closed). Then, I started VS again and everything was alright.

Opened Developer Command Prompt for VS2013 in administrator mode and executed devenv /Setup (while VS is closed). Then VS started working as expected.
